No Salt After 6

At the bowling Alley last week. (I sucked!)

The Kalibo Zone

Musta na Kayo jan?! Things here in New Washington are going really well. I can’t believe James and Dallen turned in their papers this week. I am way happy to hear that. I can’t wait to see where they get to serve! Our week has been interesting. We had a few average days then Thursday we had a zone conference in Kalibo, where President and Sister Pagaduan came with the AP's and did a training. He talked a lot about doctrine. Sort of like if someone has a problem with the law of chastity, he probably doesn’t understand the principle of obedience, which means he probably doesn’t understand the plan of happiness. Everything is in some doctrinal category and "true doctrine, understood, changes attitude and behavior." It was a really good training. I will forward you the photo from it. I do have some funny stories though. So Thursday night we were on our way from one appointment to another at about 7:30pm and we stopped at a chungee (little street store) to buy some salt. Elder Williamson asked for salt and the lady acted way weird like "why are you buying salt" and he said "so we have some to cook with, we are out" haha then she said "well it’s past 6pm" and we were like "yeah we know, what does that have to do with anything" and she told us that it’s like a rule. It’s bad to buy salt after 6pm....we frustratedly asked her for the salt again and she finally gave it to us haha. Apparently it’s some religious thing here? Another story was in sacrament this week. It was the sacrament so everyone was quiet and reverent (sort of) and this kid began crying. He was maybe like 6 or 7 and his mom went to grab him and the kid started yelling "BABOY, BABOY, BABOY!" which would be like yelling "PIG, PIG, PIG!" to his mother and everyone heard and I was laughing haha. It was funny but the mom wasn’t very happy haha. So I went to get some money the other day and my debit card from home is expired haha! Can you please mom see if you can get me a new one? I hope you can and just mail it to me or something. I also have some questions I would like to ask Elder Joe Rebman. Tell him to E mail me if he can. I want to know if he has any tips for me regarding tracting/teaching. Just anything he found that worked really well and helped people understand him. Also, how he tracted and got people to loosen up to them. We are tracting a lot here and having good success but I feel like maybe he knows tips that could help us as we serve here in New Washington. His help would be awesome! I can’t believe all the missionaries leaving and coming home. I know so many of them and it is awesome to hear where they are going or have been. Things are going so well here. I love you all!
